as to the comment i made about the most dangerous foreign policy decision since vietnam was about not just the surge but the overall war of choice going into iraq. >> i think history has already made a judgment about the surge, sir, and you're on the wrong side of it. >> senator shaheen, i don't know what to make of that. it looked like badgering the witness. i mean, it was mccain with some vendetta against this guy. it looked personal. and i don't know what it had to do with his qualifications, his abilities, to simply pound away trying to get him to agree on john mccain on something mccain believes in. >> well, this was the longest hearing for a nominee that i have ever attended in my years here. i think -- i thought senator hagel answered as forthrightly as he could all the tough questions that were in front of him. i would hope we could all be respectful and be willing to give the witness an opportunity to answer when there are serious questions. i was pleased to hear senator hagel. i didn't ask him about the surge in iraq. i wasn't there for that interchange, but i was pleased to

foreign policy debate about defense spending cuts in the sequester happening at the beginning of the year. so, then, if it's going to happen, just not at the beginning of the year. what is it going to look like and what is it going to do to the economy? >> i think they're going to be, we are in a period of retrenchment at the state and local and federal level. the government is shrinking. had revenues are low. every pressure is going in that way. i think it probably will not end up looking like this just automatic across the board cuts. but you're likely to have at the least very hard freezes on all forms of spending and nominal doct dollars. so nobody can spend more than they spent in the last year, even if there weren't inflation. >> greg? >> i would add ironically the budget deficit is falling. certainly as a percentage of gdp and we'll get on tuesday, i think, from the congressional budget office new budget figures that show, in fact, that the deficit is dropping and dropping pretty significantly. >> guys, one last question to each of you. you have been watching the markets for s
